Is workplace daycare a workable solution? - By Pieta Woolley, Georgia Straight, Canada"Childcare is not a women's issue, it's a business issue," Sully told the Straight during an interview in his office. Sully's round face turns red when he speaks about workplace childcare; it's his passion. "It's a parental issue.…The fact that women have to go out and work puts it into stark relief. They have no choice. And at that point, it becomes everyone's issue."

Sully hopes the model will catch on. In a document he engineered, Creating a Child Care Centre at Your Workplace, he noted: "I believe it will improve the bottom line of our company" through a reduction of employee stress and clients' impression that the business is "caring and progressive".
